Use it to embed SVG directly in page or to paste it in UI editor application, such as Sketch, Adobe XD, Affinity Designer or Figma.

Most editors ignore SVG viewBox attribute. Because of that when you paste SVG in editor, dimensions often don't match, making it hard to align icon. Code below includes extra transparent rectangle that matches viewBox, so if you paste icon in editor it will have same dimensions as in HTML:

Add code below to your stylesheet to use emojione-monotone:asterisk as background:

Add code below to your stylesheet to use emojione-monotone:asterisk as pseudo element's content:

Avoid using Iconify in CSS if you can. Images are loaded one by one, which might affect performance if there are too many images. Monotone images cannot inherit color from stylesheet, so you must set color attribute.

You can flip and rotate icon. Transformations are done using SVG transformations, not CSS. This ensures image content remains within its bounding box and allows you to apply additional CSS transformations.

Additionally you can copy or download SVG code. You can use it in editors (if you are using Sketch, check out Iconify plug-in for Sketch) or embed SVG directly into pages instead of using Iconify JavaScript.

There are no native components yet for frameworks except React.

Plan is to create dedicated components for more frameworks in first half of 2019. What will be different from using current Iconify JavaScript? It will be proper components that generate SVG, not placeholders and generated bundle will include all SVG data. It will not require Iconify JavaScript and will not rely on Iconify API. Of course you can continue using current placeholder syntax if you prefer. All integration methods planned for future will add new options, not replace existing options.

Additionally integration is being developed for XenForo 2 forum software. It features icon picker component that includes icon search, custom option and style property types, custom XenForo template tags, making it easy to add icon pickers to third party styles and add-ons.
